About Us

It is 2009 when Alessio Petito, the Founder of Apewineboxes, at the time a young expert in International Law, wandering between London and San Sebastian (by the way, have you ever been there? A gem), decides to consciously approach wine.

He did so by enrolling in the Ais course, and he never imagined that that would be the decisive step toward his future, in defiance of the nearly hundreds of law manuals he studied.

Thus was born in 2012, in between winery visits, ApeWine Distribution.

We realized from the very beginnings of our Group that wine was an industry dominated by the big fish, by those who produce wine industriallylike a car door or a packet of chips.

We did not understand this; it was, and still is, clear to us that the excellence of production that an artisanal winemaker can guarantee cannot even be compared with that of those who produce millions of bottles annually.

Handicraft has always been connoted by scarcity of product and quality of the same, while massive production represents the exact opposite, great availability of product but low quality. And wine is no exception.

Our essence, for more than a decade, has been to select around the World small and magnificent realities that practice sustainable viticulture and that care about the environment and the glass.

That they know how to amaze and make people fall in love.

Have a high idea of wine and that makes us quite selective, we demand a lot from our producers. We select them very carefully, it normally takes us 4/6 months to add a winery to our portfolio, we visit them often, observe how they work and taste their wines several times.

The Next Step you know it, is to carry them in your glasses.

Apewineboxes.com is the normal online evolution of this way of understanding artisanal wine and all its components, and it is dedicated to Wine Lovers all over the Universe.
